10:00 pm
can't have a police station station in a district that they are not policing. for immediate mandate, this talk probably won't go into effect until closer to the summer once all parties will be heard. we will be annexing the building so when it opens sometime in april and because under every circumstance, that same parcelling would be in the new southern district. that said, some of the proposals that are in play, we've had very robust meetings in the tenderloin district and the northern district. a lot of discussion and good crowd like tonight. the tenderloin district would come across market street and down to mission street, but not take mission street. so the streets that run north and south currently
